The leafy suburb of Torrens in Woden is a tightly-held suburb, popular with young families and retirees. Live here and you get to enjoy both wide open spaces, and close access to the busy shopping and entertainment hub of Woden Town Centre. There are multiple schools within the suburb, and many others close by, and Pearce also has its own local shops where you can settle in for a delicious brunch or home-made cakes at Smogue cafe. Torrens also hugs the Mount Taylor Nature Reserve—follow the walking tracks up the mountain to lap up the impressive 360 degree views over Canberra and the Brindabella Ranges.
